The Israel Lobby

[Consequential]

The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy is the title of a book by John Mearsheimer, Professor of Political Science at the University of Chicago, and Stephen Walt, Professor of International Relations at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University, published in late August 2007. It was a New York Times Best Seller.

The book describes the lobby as a "loose coalition of individuals and organizations who actively work to steer U.S. foreign policy in a pro-Israel direction". The book "focuses primarily on the lobby's influence on U.S. foreign policy and its negative effect on American interests".[4] The authors also argue that "the lobby's impact has been unintentionally harmful to Israel as well."

I strongly oppose the encroachment of AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) into US foriegn policy and endore this book to anyone who's interested.

Here's an excerpt.

Judging by your dismissive attempts at parody, Loz, I can only assume that you're either Israeli of a pro-Zionist.

Israel's a parasitic leech on the American taxpayer and has gone far beyond what it was territorially allocated. Now that the likes of AIPAC have got their claws well and truly stuck into Washington's back through financing both Republican and Democrat election campaigns, their further violations go without sanction.

Nope. Try again.

@Loz. Then why the childish parodies/distractions?

As for so-called rogue states in the Middle East, they are not a dire threat to vital US interests, except inasmuch as they are a threat to Israel. Even if these states acquire nuclear weapons ? which is obviously undesirable ? neither America nor Israel could be blackmailed, because the blackmailer could not carry out the threat without suffering overwhelming retaliation. The danger of a nuclear handover to terrorists is equally remote, because a rogue state could not be sure the transfer would go undetected or that it would not be blamed and punished afterwards. The relationship with Israel actually makes it harder for the US to deal with these states. Israel?s nuclear arsenal is one reason some of its neighbours want nuclear weapons, and threatening them with regime change merely increases that desire.
